14.5.5.6 DatagramHandler</a>
</h3>

<p>
The <tt class="class">DatagramHandler</tt> class, located in the
<tt class="module">logging.handlers</tt> module, inherits from <tt class="class">SocketHandler</tt>
to support sending logging messages over UDP sockets.

<p>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">
  <td><nobr><b><span class="typelabel">class</span>&nbsp;<tt id='l2h-2927' xml:id='l2h-2927' class="class">DatagramHandler</tt></b>(</nobr></td>
  <td><var>host, port</var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Returns a new instance of the <tt class="class">DatagramHandler</tt> class intended to
communicate with a remote machine whose address is given by <var>host</var>
and <var>port</var>.
</dl>

<p>
<dl><dt><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr valign="baseline">

  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
Pickles the record's attribute dictionary and writes it to the socket in
binary format. If there is an error with the socket, silently drops the
packet.
To unpickle the record at the receiving end into a <tt class="class">LogRecord</tt>, use the
<tt class="function">makeLogRecord()</tt> function.
</dl>

  <td><var></var>)</td></tr></table></dt>
<dd>
The factory method of <tt class="class">SocketHandler</tt> is here overridden to create
a UDP socket (<tt class="constant">socket.SOCK_DGRAM</tt>).
</dl>

Send a pickled string to a socket.
